Sound 13.10.17

NOTES 

                                                                          13.10.17


Sound:


Diegetic: Sound that occurs in a sequence 

Non-diegetic: Any sound that the audience can hear but the characters cannot

Non-simultaneous sound: Sound that takes place earlier in the story than the current image. This could be hearing another persons voice while they are not in the shot. This person and dialogue would have been shown earlier on in the movie/show.  This could even be a phone conversation. The person on the line is using nonsimultaneous sound. It may also be listening to a voicemail. This sound gives us information about the story without us seeing the event taking place. 


Temporal Relation
Diegetic 
(Story Space) 
Nondiegetic 
(Nonstory space)
Nonsimultaneous: 
sound from earlier in story than image.		Sound flashback 
Image flashforward 
sound bridge 
 		Sound marked as past put over images (e g., sound of a John Kennedy Speech put over images of United States today)
Simultaneous:         
images and sound takes place at the same time.		External dialogue, effects, music 
internal thoughts of character heard 
 		Sound marked as simultaneous with images (e.g., a narrator describing events in the present tense)
Nonsimultaneous:  sound from later in story than image,    Sound flashforward; image flashback with sound continuing in present; character narrates earlier events; sound bridge 
 		Sound marked as later put over images (e.g., reminiscing narrator of The Magnificent Ambersons)
 
Direct sound: All of the sound that is recorded at the time of the filming

Synchronous sound: Sound that is matched with the action and the movements being viewed. 

Asynchronous sound/off screen sound: Where you can't see where the sound is coming from 

Post synchronisation dubbing: Adding sound to a scene after its been filmed. The sound that is added will be to an event that has actually happened. E.g someone playing the piano.  They won't be foley sounds

Sound perspective: The distance between the object/person making the sound and how far/near the camera is to the object or person. The sound will not change no matter the distance of the camera. 

Example: Murlion Rogue - One day I'll fly away 

Sound bridge: When a sound goes from once scene to the next. The sound will most likely be non-diegetic. 

Example: Friends- When a small soundtrack plays between the end scene from the coffee house to Monica's apartment. 

Voiceover 

A sonic flashback: Using a sound earlier in the film during a later scene.  It's flashback of someone's voice. You won't necessarily see this person.

    Good. Have you tried to recognise these techniques in film?

Tide advert

Image
A vast majority of Tide adverts are controversial as they connote many stereotypical ideologies. Tide adverts conform to the notion that women should be domestic servants and undertake any chores in order to gratify their husbands. In this advert, the dominant reading suggests the wife finds pleasure being subjugated to her husband. The washing powder clearly brings  a sense of happiness as the wife can bring joy to her husband by cleaning his clothes contentiously. The phrases that join the advert are also stereotypical. While 'He wears the cleanest shirts in town' is in a larger and brighter font, '...his 'Misses' swears by tide' is smaller and harder to read. The red font dominating over the black font could connote the husband taking credit for his wife's work therefore highlighting his dominance and superiority over her. The fact that she is referred to as 'Misses' also connotes this idea as she doesn't have an identity without other tha

Binary Opposites

Image
The Amazing Spider-man and the Harry Potter franchise In both Harry Potter and The Amazing Spiderman franchises, the binary opposites, the protagonists and antagonists, hold specific values that reinforce their role. Firstly, Voldemort’s role as an antagonist is exceedingly stereotypical in regard to the mise-en-scene, soundtrack, editing and camera work. The black clothing and evil actions empower darkness upon the world. His followers also wear similar clothing. This, among other factors, present Voldemort as the epitome of evil. It is ironic however, that most tyrannical characters don’t kill other people but rather, their disciples commit the crime for them. Thus, most characters in the movie refer to Voldemort as ‘the dark lord’ or ‘he who shall not be named’. Harry goes against this rule by addressing Voldemort by his real name emphasising his heroic traits of bravery. He is not afraid to confront this demonic being. Furthermore, it can be argued that Harry is an a

Post-colonism and orientalism- Gilroy and Said

Paul Gilroy:  - Student of Stuart Hall  - Colony: The countries that we control  - The British took over many countries in the world  - Decolonisation after WW2 Post- colonialism:  Political or cultural condition of a former colony "Colonial discourses continue to inform contemporary attitudes to race and ethnicity in the post-colonial era." - Gilory  Colonial discourse:  behaving as if we are superior to other races. This is similar to when the British white people used to treat those who were black or brown as inferiors.  Civilisationism constructs racial hierarchies and binary opposition.  Edward Said  Focused on the discrimination of those in the East. He argued that people in the west have little knowledge of what occurs in the east.  Orielantalism: How we look at those who are different to us Otherness: Those who are different from us    Said argued that the west allowed stereotyping to become a justification
